Prolapse is a structural problem with a structural solution. Repair restores the support that time and childbirth took away.
Pelvic organ prolapse is more common than most women realise, and the symptoms — heaviness, bulging, urinary leakage — can quietly undermine confidence and daily comfort. When pessaries and physiotherapy are no longer enough, surgical repair restores the support holding your bladder, uterus, and bowel in position. Thailand's accredited urogynaecological centres deliver this surgery with discretion and advanced technique.
Free, no-obligation — you pay the hospital directly with no markup.
Pelvic organ prolapse happens when the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissue of the pelvic floor weaken and can no longer hold the bladder, uterus, or rectum in place. One or more of these organs descends into or through the vaginal canal, causing heaviness, bulging, urinary difficulties, and discomfort during activity or intimacy.
Surgery reinforces or replaces the weakened support structures. The approach depends on which compartment is affected — front (bladder), top (uterine or vault), or back (rectum) — and many patients have involvement in more than one area.
Prolapse repair carries long waiting lists in the NHS and Australian public systems. Thailand offers both native tissue and mesh-based techniques with surgeons who specialise in urogynaecology.

Your Quote Will Include
Prices are approximate and vary by technique, surgeon, and hospital. Your personalised quote will include a full cost breakdown.
Pelvic floor repair in Thailand typically costs between $3,500 and $6,300, depending on the technique, number of compartments involved, and whether concurrent continence surgery is performed. Simple colporrhaphy sits at the lower end, while laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy is at the higher end.
The surgeon's fee reflects the complexity and technique. Hospital and theatre fees cover the facility, laparoscopic or robotic equipment if used, and nursing. Anaesthesia covers the anaesthetist and intraoperative management. Aftercare includes follow-up visits, medications, and coordinator support.
The number of compartments repaired, whether mesh is used, and the surgical approach are the main drivers. A single-compartment vaginal repair costs less than a multi-compartment sacrocolpopexy with concurrent continence surgery. Robotic-assisted procedures add some cost due to equipment use.
Typical ranges at our partner hospitals:
Final pricing is confirmed after your examination and consultation.
Pelvic floor repair in Thailand costs 50 to 70 percent less than equivalent procedures in the US ($10,500–$21,000), Australia (A$8,800–A$17,500), and UK (£7,700–£15,800). The savings reflect lower operating costs in Thailand while maintaining the same surgical and safety standards.
The repair technique depends on which compartment has prolapsed and how much support is needed. In practice, more than one compartment is often addressed in the same operation.
Performed through the vagina with no external incisions. The surgeon reinforces the weakened fascial layer between the vaginal wall and the bladder (anterior) or rectum (posterior) using your own tissue. Avoids synthetic mesh and suits moderate prolapse with adequate tissue quality.
A durable technique for apical or vault prolapse using lightweight mesh to suspend the vaginal apex from the sacral promontory. Performed laparoscopically or robotically with small incisions. Particularly suited to younger, active patients and those with recurrent prolapse after previous vaginal repair.
Restores apical support by reattaching the vaginal vault to the uterosacral ligaments — the body's own suspensory structures. A mesh-free vaginal approach suited to patients preferring native tissue repair. Can be combined with colporrhaphy for multi-compartment repair.
Technique depends on the compartment affected, tissue quality, prolapse severity, and whether you have had previous failed repair. Your surgeon selects the approach with the best long-term durability for your anatomy.
Uses your own fascia and ligaments to rebuild pelvic support, avoiding synthetic materials entirely. This includes anterior and posterior colporrhaphy and uterosacral ligament suspension. Well suited to moderate prolapse with reasonable tissue quality and for patients who prefer to avoid mesh.
Lightweight polypropylene mesh provides durable apical support. The mesh is placed abdominally — not transvaginally — and attached to the sacral promontory. This distinction matters because abdominal mesh placement has a different and favourable safety profile compared with now-restricted transvaginal mesh.
Many women with prolapse also have stress urinary incontinence. A mid-urethral sling — a brief additional procedure — can be performed at the same time as prolapse repair to address both problems under a single anaesthetic. Your surgeon will assess whether this is appropriate during your pre-operative evaluation.
You rest in hospital with a urinary catheter in place. Pain is managed with regional anaesthesia and oral medication. Gentle mobilisation — standing and short walks — begins within hours. Your surgeon checks the repair and confirms no early complications.
The catheter is removed and bladder function is monitored before discharge. Most patients leave hospital within one to three days. Wound care guidance and activity restrictions are reviewed. A follow-up appointment is scheduled before your return flight.
Swelling and discomfort gradually subside. Light activities including walking and gentle stretching are encouraged. Heavy lifting, straining, and intercourse are avoided. Pelvic floor physiotherapy may begin to support the repair.
Your surgeon provides clearance for a gradual return to normal activities, including exercise and intimacy. Pelvic floor exercises continue to strengthen the repair. A recovery plan and follow-up schedule are prepared for your home doctor.
Most patients fly home 7 to 10 days after surgery, once the catheter is removed, bladder function is normal, and wound healing is confirmed. We recommend an aisle seat, compression stockings, and regular leg movement during the flight.
Light desk work is usually possible within two weeks. Walking from day one. Avoid lifting anything heavier than a few kilograms for six weeks. Pelvic floor exercises and graduated return to physical activity should be guided by your surgeon and physiotherapist.
Relief from prolapse symptoms is noticeable within days. Internal healing takes four to six weeks, during which the repair strengthens. Long-term success depends on maintaining pelvic floor exercises, managing weight, and avoiding chronic straining.
Pelvic floor repair is a well-established procedure with a strong track record. Risks vary by technique and are discussed individually with your surgeon.
The most important modifiable risk factor for recurrence is lifestyle — chronic straining, heavy lifting, and excess weight all stress the repair. Pelvic floor exercises protect your result long-term.
Yes. Prolapse repair at JCI-accredited hospitals in Thailand meets the same safety standards as in the UK, US, and Australia. Our partner surgeons are urogynaecological specialists who perform both native tissue and abdominal mesh-based repairs. The mesh safety concerns that led to restrictions were about transvaginal mesh — abdominal sacrocolpopexy mesh has a distinct and favourable safety profile.
Choose a surgeon with urogynaecological subspecialisation and specific prolapse repair experience. Pre-operative urodynamic testing identifies any bladder function issues that should be addressed concurrently. Post-operatively, pelvic floor physiotherapy, weight management, and avoiding heavy lifting protect the repair.
Recurrence is possible, particularly if underlying risk factors — chronic straining, heavy lifting, or obesity — are not addressed. Rates vary by technique and compartment, but sacrocolpopexy has the lowest long-term recurrence rates. Pelvic floor exercises, weight management, and lifestyle modification are the best protection.
Urogynaecological surgery requires specific training beyond general gynaecology. Here is what our partner centres provide.
Our partner hospitals hold JCI accreditation and have dedicated urogynaecology departments with laparoscopic and robotic capability, urodynamic testing facilities, and on-site physiotherapy. They handle both native tissue and abdominal mesh repairs with full in-house infrastructure.
Our partner surgeons are certified in obstetrics and gynaecology with subspecialisation in urogynaecology and pelvic floor reconstruction. They perform both vaginal and abdominal approaches and can advise objectively on the best technique for your anatomy and lifestyle.
Urogynaecological subspecialisation is essential — general gynaecologists may not have the specific training for complex prolapse repair. Ask about the surgeon's experience with both native tissue and sacrocolpopexy, their recurrence rates, and whether they perform urodynamic assessment as part of pre-operative planning.
Prolapse repair success is measured by symptom resolution, anatomical restoration, and durability of the repair over time.
Success rates for prolapse repair range from 85 to 95 percent depending on the technique and compartment. Sacrocolpopexy has the highest long-term durability. Most patients report complete resolution of heaviness, bulging, and urinary symptoms. Quality of life improvements are consistently reported in published studies.
Relief from prolapse symptoms — heaviness, bulging, and urinary problems — is noticeable within days of surgery. Internal healing takes four to six weeks, during which the repair strengthens. Long-term success depends on continuing pelvic floor exercises and managing lifestyle factors.
Most patients need 7 to 10 days in Thailand. Here is what to expect.
Plan for 7 to 10 days. This covers your pre-operative examination and urodynamic testing if needed, surgery, one to three nights in hospital, catheter removal and bladder function checks, and a follow-up appointment before you fly home.
Your care coordinator manages hospital transfers, surgery scheduling, and all follow-up appointments. The surgical quote covers the surgeon's fee, anaesthesia, hospital stay, urodynamic testing if needed, medications, and coordinator support. Flights and accommodation are separate.
Stay in Bangkok. Catheter management, bladder function monitoring, and follow-up appointments all require proximity to your surgical team during the first week. Bangkok offers comfortable accommodation near the hospitals.
